Chapter 34


    A weekter, Isabe and Tyron visited the old Don on his vi.


    “Grandpa, how are you?” Isabe asks as she hugs Don Samuel. “I hope you are not being handful to


    Uncle Ricardo and everyone here.”


    “Old habits never die, Be.” Ricardo said and the Don slightly hit him with his cane. “That hurts, dad.”


    Ricardo said.


    After she was discharged in the hospital, the Don told her another secret that he’s been keeping for a


    long time. Ricardo is his son and the younger brother of her father. He was kidnapped at a young age,


    and even though Don Samuel gave the ransom, he never saw his son again.


    ‘We just learned the truth before your father died.’ The Don said. ‘We were supposed to introduced


    Ricardo to the public but the incident happened.’


    ‘That is why you trusted us to him.’ Isabe said, everything make sense now, no wonder her


    grandfather is so worried when they can’t contact Ricardo. ‘You’re really rted to me.’ Isabe said.


    ‘I’m sorry, Be, I wanted to tell you the truth but you might push me away.’ Ricardo said.


    ‘You are right.’ Isabe smiles. ‘But I am happy that we are nowplete now, and I can’t wish for


    more.’


    Isabe smiles as she watches his grandfather and uncle bickering.


    “Isabe, please tell dad to rest.” Ricardo tells her, “He only listens to you.” He pleads.


    “What is wrong if I help out around the vi?” Don Samuel asks.


    Isabe sighs and clings to Don Samuel. “Grandpa, you better listen to Uncle Ricardo.”


    “But—”


    “No, buts, grandpa.” Isabe sternly said. “There is nothing wrong with helping but you tend to over


    work. Uncle Ricardo will surely not overreact if you’re not overworking yourself.”


    “Be is right, dad.” Ricardo sighs. “You are still recovering for Pete’s sake!”


    “I am just making sure that they will treat you right, Ricardo.” The Don sighs. Upon hearing this, they


    already get the gist why the old Don is still moving around instead of resting.


    “Dad, they are treating me right.” Ricardo said. “They see me the same as they see you.”


    “I am just making sure, hijo. I don’t want to lose another son.” Don Samuel said.


    Ricardo sighs and holds one of the Don’s hand. “Dad, you will not lose me nor Be or anyone else


    dear to you.”


    “In fact, we have someone to join our family.” Tyron smiles and nces at Ricardo. “Uncle Ricardo is


    finally settling down.”


    “Atst! I thought he will never settle down, but it nevere to mind that the reason why he is still not


    married is because of me and my mom. His lover thought that he’s cheating on her.” Isabe said.


    “Well, that’s in the past now.” Ricardo said.


    “But I am so sorry, Uncle, if it wasn’t because of us, you will witness how your son grew up.” Isabe


    said. When the news broke out about Tyron’s death, Ricardo’s name is added on the fatalities and his


    lover, Angie watched it.


    “It’s okay, Be.” Ricardo said. “I exined it already to Angie and she understand the situation. She


    and your little cousin wanted to meet you.”


    “Really?” Isabe asks in delight. “Oh, but I don’t know how to deal with them, especially to Anthony, I


    mean, I rob the time he was supposed to spend with you.”


    “He is actually a huge fan of yours.” Ricardo said.


    “Why don’t we invite them for dinner tomorrow, Be?” Tyron suggested.


    “That would be wonderful!” Isabe said in delight before turning to her uncle. “What do you think,


    uncle?”


    “I’m sure Angie and Anthony would love to, but can we just hold the dinner here? I’m worried that dad


    will be exhausted.”


    “Of course.” Tyron said. “By the way, the reason why we came here today is to return thepany to


    you, Don Samuel.” Tyron said. “What my grandfather did is shameful but I want to make it right this


    time.” He said as he handed the folder. “I already talked with mywyer about it.”


    “Hold on a minute—” The Don said while flipping the documents. “You don’t need to do this, Tyron.”


    The Don said, frowning.


    “Thepany was taken from you, Don Samuel, and the right thing to do is to return it back to the


    rightful owner, especially now that Uncle Ricardo is here, your rightful heir.” Tyron said.


    “Hold on, Tyron.” Ricardo said. “Even if thepany will be under my name, I don’t think I can manage


    it well, besides I don’t have the drive to do so, I am happier here in the vi, managing the farm and


    everything else.”


    “You heard him, Tyron.” The Don said and slide the folder back to them. “Thatpany originally is


    both mine and your grandfather in the first ce, and when he single-handedly managed it, it grown so


    much that I expected, besides, thepany is doing well under your reign.”


    “But still—”


    “No buts, Tyron, if you return thepany to us, who will manage it?” The Don asks. “I am old and still


    recovering…” He said as he nces at Ricardo.


    “And I don’t want to manage it.” Ricardo added and nces at Isabe.


    “Oh, if you still want to return it then I guess what is left is me? It will be a matter of time that I will


    dere bankruptcy.” Isabe said.


    Tyron sighs in defeat. “Then will it be okay if I pass position as a CEO to my older brother, Miguel?”


    “The decision is yours, Tyron, since thepany is yours to begin with.” The Don smiles.


    “Thank you.” Tyron said.


    “Oh, look at the time, I need to go.” Ricardo said looking at his watch. “I will go and pick up Angie and


    Anthony.” He said, looking happy and excited.


    “Are they moving in today?” Isabe asks as she noticed that the housekeepers are busy moving


    around.


    “Yes, dad wants them to stay here.” Ricardo said.


    “Be, I know that this vi means a lot to you but…” The Don sighs and nces at Ricardo.


    Isabe already knew what he meant.


    “Yes, grandpa, the house means a lot to me as it holds a lot of memories ever since I was born, but I


    do think that Uncle Ricardo is more suited to have it than me, besides Tyron already have a house for


    us.” Isabe said. “Another thing is that we already got thepany, so I guess it is only natural that


    Uncle Ricardo will have the vi.”


    “Thank you, Isabe.” Ricardo said.


    “You’re always wee uncle.” Isabe smiles.


    “Oh, before you leave, Ricardo, I just want to inform you all that I am nning to introduce you and


    Isabe to the public.” The Don said making the two shocked. “I think now is the right time to introduce


    you two.” Isabe and Ricardo look at each other. “Of course, I also want to introduce Tyron as


    Isabe’s husband, and as for Angie and Anthony,” He looks at Ricardo. “I want to introduce them as


    part of the family.”


    “Am I really listening to the almighty Don Samuel?” Isabe voice out her thoughts.


    “Be!” Tyron hushes her.


    “Oops! Did I say that out loud?” Isabe jokes. “But kidding aside, are you really sure about that,


    grandpa?”


    “Will I tell you about it if I’m not serious?” The old Don scoffs. “One reason is that we are already out of


    danger.”


    “I am not against it, but can I ask Angie and Anthony first, dad?” Ricardo asks.


    “Yes, do that. I also want to introduce Angie as your fiancée.” The don said.


    “Dad!” Ricardo exims. “I still haven’t asked her yet.”


    “Oh,e on, Ricardo! You proposed to her five years ago and you’re not getting any younger.”


    “I will talk to Angie about it, dad.” Ricardo said. “Then I will take my leave for now.”


    “So, what do you think, Isabe?” The Don asks, after Ricardo left.


    “I have no problem about it but…” Isabe looks at Tyron. “Are you okay being introduced as my


    husband?”


    “Why would you even ask that, Be? Of course, I am happy with what your grandfather nned to do,


    with that the whole world will know that you’re already mine.” Tyron answers.


    “I should be the one saying that.” Isabe rolls her eyes making Tyronugh. “I wonder how many


    women will cry about you being tied for eternity.”


    “Nah, they will only feel bad not having their hands on my fortune.” Tyron smiles.


    “Oh, then I should take my time spending your money.” Isabe grins making Tyron and Don Samuel


    “Are you now slowly showing your true nature?” Tyron asks.


    “Oh, yes! Now that you’re head over heels for me, I will spend your money like there’s no tomorrow as


    a payback for making me think that your dead.” She grins as her eyes sparkles in mischievousness.


    “Fine, spend it however you want.” Tyron sighs in surrender.


    “Yay!” Isabe screams in delight. “But what should I buy? You already give me series of jewelleries


    and designer clothes and shoes.” She said and in a deep thought. “Aah! I don’t know what to buy.” She


    sighs.

    “Don’t think too much, hon. You have the lifetime to spend my money, you know.” Tyron said as he puts


    his hand on her shoulder.


    “I am d that both of you are doing fine.” The Don said with a sincere smile stered on his face.


    “When things are still in a mess, I always wonder if both of you are getting alone or if I made a wrong


    decision.”


    “I guess the only wrong decision you made is that you made me think that you’ve abandoned me, old


    man.” Isabe said. “But I think that’s not a bad thing at all, since you had a reason to marry me off to


    Tyron and now, we are starting a family together.”


    “Be’s right, Don Samuel, if you did not pull strings then maybe until now, we are still in the middle of


    the feud.” Tyron said. “Let us put the pain and mistakes in the past, instead, let’s focus on what’s the


    future is going to bring us.”


    “But I am sorry for your loss, Tyron.” The old Don suddenly said. Tyron sighs and nods.


    “It was my uncle’s decision to do kill his self.” Tyron said.


    The day that Frederick was apprehended and is behind bars together with his men, theymitted


    suicide by taking the suicide pill that they had all along and it cause a huge stir in the prison and the


    media.
